Bounce rate = By percentage, the amount of people that come to your blog and leave right away. high % is bad, low % is good, i.e if your bounce rate is at 90%, that means 90 out of 100 people took off to another site!!, noooooo.

My bounce rate have actually improved recently, so i'll keep the lightbox up for now, especially as opt-ins have increased also.

Having said that, if the results remain that good, then maybe the benefit outweigh the "cost". I'll be interested to see how it goes.

That's assuming that the offer was tempting enough, of course. But yeah, definitely a method to highly consider!
